dan, who is like the rest of us, is celebrating after a big, big win. >> doug, dan, pat, i get it. >> it was a long night last night, but a good one. >> an unbelievable night. i think i said this earlier, the past few years we would be saying good-bye to the players as they cleaned out their lockers. now they're getting ready for the second season, of course the playoffs after their big win president the division tight, their first since '99. just the fourth time they're going to the playoffs in the last 20 years. for chris cooley, who we caught up with about an hour ago -- we had to let him off early for new year's eve -- this is the first division title of his career. >> it was unbelievable. i've always wanted the championship pat, i always wanted that accomplishment in the locker room. so when they gave me the hat, i think this thing is staying on my hat a while. it might be dorky, but i was

proud of the guys, the team. the locker room was ecstatic. people were very happy and well deserves of it. >> the fact that you kicked them in the teeth made it sweeter. >> no better team. i would have wanted to play no one else to win the division and get in the playoffs like that. it does, it makes it so sweet when you beat dallas. it's all you can hope for. it's that perfect setting of this is how this should go, and we got it like that. >> and you did it by riding the back of al fret morris. is this the most unassuming nfl player we've ever come across? i mean, he's so humble. >> he's great at everything he does. >> except purchasing cars. >> he could be great at it. he's just taking his time. maybe he has that personal connection with the car. he wants it to be special. but he's as humble as anyone

gets. as hard a worker as there is on our football team. he's everything you want in a guy, i think. everything you want in a pro. you look at him and say i know this guy is going to do what he's going to do this week. i trust him. i want the ball in his hands every time. him, robert, they make us -- they make us so confident. the o-line wants to block for these guys. they want to be physical. they want to knock guys around, because they no a lieutenant f will make things special happen. >> robert only had 100 yards passing, actually the -- on that touchdown run, some great blocks there. logan was in there, had a good block. pierre had a good block on the corner there. what does it say about this team when guys continue to get it down, without robert being the super start pro bowl quarterback. >> this team has played for each

other and played as a unit throughout the year. this has been one of the first years where i've been here where we didn't turn around on monday and say there was ten guys. if we had had one more goo you on that play, or we missed two blocks here. that's not happening. we're on guys, we're making the blocks. the receivers are blocking better than any receivers in the league. they are getting after people. we won a game that where we played more physical. whatever you want to say, we did. we ran the ball. it was -- in the words of joe gibbs, it was redskins football. >> on both sides of the ball, too, you beat them up. defensively three interceptions, london had a couple sacks, his "d" mass mall lined for so much of the year. i know you weren't out there on the field plays defense against romo, but could you sense his heart sink every time he threw

an interception or just too giddy? >> really it had nothing to do with dallas or romo. it was about us, and it was about that pick putting us in an advantageous position to win the football game, score appointments. it's been about us all year. it hasn't been about who we're playing. we don't talk about as much in ever my career about the team we're playing. we talk about us and what we need to do. what do you know about the seattle seahawks? because they are almost a mirror image of your team in terms of a good running back, a really good rookie quarterback, a defense that's been playing stout. i guess that's the one thing when you make the comparison. their defense has been one of the top in the league all year. >> i think seattle is a close comparison to us. they're a judge team and they're hot 679 they've been winning a lot of games. they've been beating teams up as

they made this run. it's a huge challenge for us. it will be another big week, i guess. every week has been huge. it's not something we're not used to, but they are an outstanding football team. they have moved it. i can tell you i do not whattant to lose to saelgts every year, lost to saelgts twice in the playoffs. we have them at home. i want to win this game so bad, and i know everyone wants to win so bad. we all feel there's something going good going on, but it doesn't mean anything unless you take it all the way. i think we're all happy about winning at home against dallas, but i think the focus will turn directly to seattle and to what it will take mo make a run. >> that game is at 4:30 on sunday. other coaching around the nfl

looking for jobs. black monday was brutal. it's been called black monday, because this is the day that so many coaches get fired on the floor the years in the nfl. seven head coaches fired today on this blacked monday. let's take a look. at 14 years and five nfc championship appearances, and reid let go. san diego has five norv turner. chicago gets rid of lovie smith. ken whitten hunt is got. romeo crennel out in kansas city after just one season, and a league worst 2-14. and third time not the charge. he's axed after three seasons with the bills. one final note. alex ovechkin will be tying the not. he is engaged to russian tennis star marreesa kirilenko. so congratulations to ovi,
